Hello, I am 33, I started having psoriasis when I was about 13 or 14. My father had psoriasis so it seemed fated that I would get it as well. I lived with until I was 25. I was very over weight and suffered many digestion problems.

At 25 I decided that I wanted to change my body and life. Initially I went to my doctor and asked him what I should do and what kinds of treatments he could help me with. I quickly realized that he couldn't really help. I was already eating antacids like candy and he didn't think I needed prescription strength antacids and western medicine doesn't have a clue about psoriasis and they don't seem to really care. I went to dermatologist and basically she said it wasn't that bad and I should be happy with over the counter topical treatments. I already knew that they didn't do anything and I hated having them on me. I hate having greasy ointments on my skin, clothes and everything I touch. I was depressed and didn't know what Io was going to do.

Around that time I a had a good friend who was into homeopathic remedies and supplements and she suggested that I try removing wheat from my diet. She had heard somewhere that it helps with digestive problems. So, I decided to stop eating wheat and eventually dairy. When I stopped eating wheat most of my digestive problems went away nearly the next day. Not all of them but I felt much better. With that success I decided to tackle my psoriasis. I felt that if I could do that with eliminating wheat what else could I do. I had hoped that removing wheat would do it and it helped but it was still there. Over the next few years I tried many diets and homeopathic treatments, organic supplements and many other types of unconventional treatments.

In that time I learned a lot about my body, diet, exercise, supplements and the such and I came to an understanding and a plateau of treatment that i could live with. I hadn't eliminated the psoriasis but I had found a diet that seemed to work for me. I was able to maintain a healthy weight, have a relatively normal digestion and keep my psoriasis at bay. I was able to minimize the flaking and redness but it was still spreading around my body. Probably the best part was that I was able to keep the itching at a minimum.


've lived this way for the past few years until about a month ago. when I found what for me is nothing short of a miracle. garlic, simple raw garlic. I can't believe it. I"ve been so obtuse. I know it's a wonderful natural supplement but I never thought about it's effect on psoriasis until that is about a month a go when I got sick. I got really sick, I had, I believe strep throat. I no longer have insurance was not able to go to the doctor. So I started trying different herbal remedies and one of them was I starting eating garlic. Lots of it, raw. I got better and the illness went away but as that was happening I noticed that the psoriasis was going away also. Now I've been eating raw garlic, a lot with every meal for a bout a month and my psoriasis is nearly gone. It's amazing. It's not completely gone and it will flair up if I don't stay to the diet but I am pretty happy with the results. I have scaring from the flaking but I can get over that. At least I'm not shedding, right?


I don't think the garlic alone would work though. I think that diet is important also. I know that my psoriasis reacts to certain foods and carbohydrates are one of the main ones. The diet I advocate is a simple 70-30 diet of eating 70 percent raw green food i.e. vegetables and 30 percent healthy(not processed)fats, oils, carbohydrates and proteins as well as a small amount of sea salt. I also believe in drinking alkaline water and wheat grass.

I found this diet in a book called "The PH Miracle" by Dr, Robert Young. I've have altered the diet to some degree but I think the diet he outlines in his book is pretty solid. I could never make my psoriasis go away. sometimes it would good sometimes bad. I would try all kinds of stuff but until I started eating garlic I've been able to be flake free. I don't know if this is a long term treatment or not. I don't know how it works and really if it works I don't care. I''ll eat garlic every day for the rest of my life.

FYI, I don't think it's easy to do what I have done. I'm not selling you anything. I don't own a garlic farm and I don't care if you buy the book I mentioned. I just think that I have found something could really help people. I have found a personal miracle. I don't know if it will work for you or not but I don't think I can keep this to myself. Please feel free to ask me anything.
